Memcached::get

PHP function Edit on GitHub ✎

(PECL memcached >= 0.1.0)

Retrieve an item

Description

Memcached::get(string $key, callable|null $cache_cb = null, int $get_flags = 0): mixed

Memcached::get() returns the item that was previously stored under the key. If the item is found and the get_flags is given Memcached::GET_EXTENDED, it will also return the CAS token value for the item. See Memcached::cas for how to use CAS tokens. Read-through caching callback may be specified via cache_cb parameter.

Parameters

key: The key of the item to retrieve.
cache_cb: Read-through caching callback or null.
get_flags: Flags to control the returned result. When Memcached::GET_EXTENDED is given, the function will also return the CAS token.

Return Values

Returns the value stored in the cache or false otherwise. If the get_flags is set to Memcached::GET_EXTENDED, an array containing the value and the CAS token is returned instead of only the value. The Memcached::getResultCode will return Memcached::RES_NOTFOUND if the key does not exist.

Changelog

Version	Description
PECL memcached 3.0.0	The `cas_token` parameter was removed. Instead `get_flags` was added and when it is given the value of `Memcached::GET_EXTENDED` it will ensure the CAS token to be fetched.
